Process
Step 1: Arranging Up
- Students will be divided into small groups of 3 to 4.
- Each group will be given a set of numbers (1-3, 4-6, 7-10).
Step 2: Counting Practice
- Each group will receive number cards with their assigned numbers.
- The group will practice counting aloud and identifying the numbers.
Step 3: Drawing and Matching
- Using crayons or markers, each group will draw a set of objects that match their numbers (example, if your number is 3, draw 3 apples, 3 gumballs).
- After drawing, the group will write the number next to the objects.
Step 4: Creating the Counting Book
- Once your drawings are finished, each group will arrange their pages in order and staple them together to form a Counting Book.
Step 5: Presentation Time
- Each group will take turns showing their Counting Book to the class and explaining how they matched the numbers with the drawings.
